lyrics

Growth

I just want to be free
I just want to be me
But I’m finding it hard
To swim through all this seaweed.
I’m, going up for air
That no one really wants to breath.
Thinking to ourselves
Maybe we should have saved some trees.
While destroying ecosystems
That’s not how it’s meant to be.
I guess a lot of things happened
That were never meant to be.
Lying in our faces and they say it’s good politics,
Good for the people
But I think it’s just the opposite.
They’re saying look ahead,
We don’t have the same binoculars.
I always wear a smile
So they’re calling me an optimist.
Calling me a child
‘Cause my mind is always wondering.
Wondering for miles
Until it’s running out of oxygen.
Right I’m ready for a fight
But not the octagon,
Taking baby steps
Until my brain has reached it’s optimum.
Until my body’s reached it’s peak
Because as of right now
Both are still to weak.
Growing by the day
But I’m still just me.
I’ve got to work hard
To get my degree.
I’ve got to make the most
Of all these opportunities
‘Cause despite all my falls
People kept faith in me.
There when I’m in trouble
Like they’re helping me to breath.
Okay I lost a few
I’m sure that more will come to be.
Until that day
I’ll still be living comfortably.
I’m fine alone
It’s just cool to have some company.
But it’s a shame
‘cause true friends don’t come abundantly.
I could count the on my hands
But that’s fine by me,
Open these eyes
‘Cause it’s time I see
They’re never really closed
It’s just like my dreams.
I drift off
So time might freeze
When life is getting cold
I’ve learnt to like that breeze.
When I’m feeling down
I Shouldn’t light that tree,
Though it clears my thoughts
So I might light three.
You wont quite find another type like me
No I write these bars
So I can find my peace.
I give a peace of mind
so I can find my peace,
Yo I write these bars
So I can find my peace,
Peace,
Peace,
I give a peace of mind
So I can find my peace.

natestapes London, UK

My dreams and ambitions have led me here, aged 20, I'm now looking to jump start my music career.
Rap is more than a craft or a job to me. It brings my emotions to life and I feel myself live through it. I hope I can convey this in my songs.
I'm always looking for ways to improve, increasing the possible outcomes of my work tenfold.
My feet are, and always will be firmly planted on the ground. ... more
